Wimbledon vs Roger Federer

As usual, Dootsiez has put virtual pen to paper and absolutley nailed my feelings on Roger/Wimbley. Find it here.

I admit that I didn't want Roger to win Wimbledon. But I did want another epic Rafa/Roger final, with Rafa winning. So, Vamos Rafa!

I hope you are not offended. I was talking about the mean Federer fans, not the nice ones. :) I don't believe that Roger lies about his injuries, but certain of his fans *always* bring up illnesses and injuries of Roger whenever he loses. They can never admit that Rafa (or anyone else, for that matter) beat a fully healthy Roger. To those people--who are anti-Rafa to a sick degree, IMO--none of Rafa's wins over Roger count for some reason or another, whether there is actual proof or not.

I don't want to write a really long indictment of the nutso fans, but just a few of their irrational and contradictory opinions follow:

"Roger's records speak for themselves." yet they post Roger's records all over the internet, in comments on Rafa YouTube videos, etc. If the records speak for themselves, there is no need to post them all over the internet.

"Roger lost Wimbledon 2008 because of the darkness." Yet both Roger and Rafa played in the same darkness. Unless Rafa has the vision of a cat, I don't see how the darkness adversely affected Roger more than it did Rafa.

"Roger has had an injury-free career" yet the same people will say "Roger's 2008 slump was due to mono and a bad back." Huh? Not doubting that Roger had those problems, but no fan could possibly know when the mono began, when its effects ended, and to what extent his back injury affected Roger's play. And they can't say that Roger has had an injury-free career and then in the next breath bring up his injuries to account for his slumps and his losses to Rafa.

"Roger is *always* a perfect gentleman. He *never* disses other players or is a bad sport." Yet one can easily find instances where Roger was not a good sport and not a perfect gentleman. One would have to be living in a fantasy world to believe that Roger is always a perfect gentleman. Roger's own official website is hardly what one would expect from a perfect gentleman and a good sport.

I don't have a problem with people supporting Roger, and it is natural for fans to be upset when he loses. They don't have to make excuses and attack Roger's rivals, however.

I like Roger, despite what it sounds like, and I like you, so I hope we can still be internet friends. :)

hello. not offended^^

I am Roger's fan from 2004.
By the way, His back and waist are chronic injured since 2004. In 2005, the ankle injured, too. In the memory

However, after the sickness, It has really become weak. The age, too.

It is continuation of the slump now. The injury, too.
It is painful time for Roger's fan.

And, Roger's Do. or doesn't do. It is always treated in the exaggeration.

But, Other players. The same thing. Do, or doesn't do.
Not matter it. always, it is disgusted. haha

I'm glad that you are not offended. I know that you are Roger's fan. I am too. Sometimes I want to knock some sense into him, but I am still his fan. :)

I do get a little mouthy (or fingertippy) and opinionated at times, as poor Fedal Fangirl knows. :)
